It is virtually certain that Munna Hamza does not consider himself a “British man,” but rather a citizen of the global umma, the worldwide Muslim community. British officials, true to form, have shown no indication that they have pondered the implications of this fact, or even realize it at all.
“British man jailed for encouraging acts of terrorism in Bangladesh,” Dhaka Tribune, March 23, 2021:
A man from south of London has been jailed for posting several messages on social media encouraging people to commit acts of terrorism in Bangladesh, following an investigation by the Metropolitan’s Counter Terrorism Command, reports Asian Express.
Munna Hamza, 50, was sentenced to a total of three years’ imprisonment on Friday after being convicted of three counts of encouraging terrorism contrary to the Terrorism Act 2006 at Woolwich Crown Court. He will have to spend an additional year on licence when he is released.
Hamza was arrested by the Counter Terrorism Command after his social media messages encouraging acts of terrorism against Bangladesh government were reported to police in 2018. The officers seized his computer, phones and memory sticks for forensic examination.
Following a thorough investigation, counter terrorism officers identified five posts of concern. In his posts, Hamza urged people to commit serious acts of violence against the Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her government.
The Counter Terrorism Internet Referral Unit later assessed the posts and found they were likely to be in breach of UK terrorism legislation.
He was charged in 2019 with four counts of encouraging terrorism.
According to Met’s Counter Terrorism Command, he was convicted for three posts he made between 1 September 2015 and 31 December 2015, one on 3 May 2018 and one on 16 May 2018. He was found not guilty of one other count of encouraging terrorism contrary to section 1(2) of the Terrorism Act 2006, which related to a post he made on 24 June 2018.
Commander Richard Smith, the head of the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command praised the member of the public for reporting Hamza’s social media posts to the police….

Wait a minute! The British authorities arrested him? The same people who won’t lift a finger against the rape gangs all over the country?
Wonder whether they thought that not intervening to save the Bangladesh government would be considered islamophobic, even though that government is being targeted by jihadists for being too friendly to India, even while vigilante mob violence against Bangladeshi Hindus, Buddhists and Christians continue to be tolerated

How DARE,this cretin call himself British…he is NOT and never will be.
Keith O says
And what is “British” anymore?
It’s like the old joke. What’s white and eats curry?
1/4 of Britain.
What used to be thought of as Britain is now just a memory.
Anglo Saxons will soon be a minority and the authorities will continue to stick their heads up their own arses rather than admit they have a serious problem.
Check Burry says
Keith,Maureen,I agree with you both. Doesnt deserve to be called British. Anyone doing anything Terrorist thing , deport, no appeals.
Infidel says
England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland are all positive entities. However, the combination of them disproves one major rule in math – about the sum of positives being positive: the UK definitely hasn’t been. It’s been an enabler of islam throughout history – from preventing the de-islamization of India to the Great Game to the Crimean War
Brexit was not enough: England needs to leave the UK, and so do Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. It’s like 1991 and the USSR: Russia left it, and so did every other republic, until only Kazakhstan was left. England should drop out first, w/o Wales, and let the other 3 secede from the ‘union’

Accused Munna Hamza almost certainly considers himself MUSLIM FIRST and FOREMOST. Otherwise, what is his interest in promoting jihadic genocide in Bangladesh?

UK: ‘British man’ jailed for encouraging acts of jihad terror in Bangladesh
………………….
In what real way is Jihadist Munna Hamza a “British man”? he is just using Britain as a base for waging Jihad terror.
Andrew Blackadder says
How good to see the Cyber Police in the UK are looking out for the safety of Bangladesh as that is much more worthy than looking out for Pakistani bastards raping our wee girls.
Has the Planet shifted off its Axis?.
Infidel says
Andrew, the most amazing aspect of this is the UK police willing to act against jihadists at all, even if for the benefit of Bangladesh!
The Brits need to figure out an argument that demonstrates that Pakis raping English girls are somehow against the integrity of Bangladesh, then maybe…
